You can use GPO template on the agent OS to turn off True SSO at the pool level or to change defaults for certificate settings such as key size and count and settings for reconnect attempts.

Note: The following table shows the settings to use for configuring the agent on individual virtual machines, but you can alternatively use the Horizon Agent Configuration template files. The ADMX template file is named ( vdm_agent.admx). Use the template files to make these policy settings apply to all the virtual machines in a desktop or application pool. If a policy is set the policy takes precedence over the registry settings.

The ADMX files are available in VMware-Horizon-Extras-Bundle-YYMM-x.x.x-yyyyyyyy.zip, which you can download from the VMware Downloads site at https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads. Under Desktop & End-User Computing, select the VMware Horizon download, which includes the GPO Bundle containing the ZIP file.
